Can a STD be fatal?

Yes, STDs actually can be fatal. The most famous STD is HIV. Although it seems people with HIV live quiete long, it also kills a lot of people. Some STDs can be treated others are only manageable and some can cause death. Viral STDs are not treatable. Bacterial for example chlamydia, syphilis and crabs are treatable. AIDS and HIV eventually disable the immune system which will cause complications when you get sick. The effects of HIV can be slowed by medicines which prolong one’s life.

Especially chlamydia  can be very dangerous. It will cause infertility and in case of a woman it may cause tubal pregnancy which is life threatening. For men it will highly increase the risk of cancer of the prostate.

If you learn more about STDs you are able to protect yourself better. Remember, most STD’s can be treated. If you do not cure the curable ones, those can turn deadly as well. And what about killing your social life as well.
